Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common complication of sepsis and a leading cause of mortality in septic patients. Studies indicate that STING may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of sepsis-induced ALI by interacting with the PARP-1/NLRP3 pathway. Therefore, targeting STING inhibition has potential as a novel therapeutic strategy for ALI.

Design: Systematic literature review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO number: CRD42023461988).
Setting: Review of published literature.
Background: Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) short nucleolar RNA host gene 15 () has been found to have an oncogenic function in numerous malignancies. Nevertheless, the biological function and regulatory mechanisms of in breast cancer have not been fully elucidated.
Methods: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of and in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.
Anesthetic management for patients with a giant emphysematous bulla (GEB) is challenging. This case report describes a patient who developed 95% pulmonary compression by a GEB. A 14-Ga indwelling catheter was placed in the GEB before surgery to allow for slow re-expansion of the collapsed lung tissue.

This study intends to test the clinical application value of PA in the perioperative period of VATS.
Methods: From January 2018 to August 2018, we divided patients who underwent VATS in our hospital into a trial group (PA group) and a control group (traditional analgesia group, TA group).
Aims: Dexmedetomidine (Dex) has been noted to have neuroprotective effect against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, the effect of Dex in diabetic hyperglycemia-exacerbated cerebral I/R injury and its underlying mechanism remain unclear.
Main Methods: The infarct volume and brain edema were evaluated by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining and standard wet-dry method.
Oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) are the most important factors related to tissue damage resulting from stroke. Microglial cells have been found to be very vulnerable to ischemia and OGD. It has been reported that isoflurane exposure can protect the mammalian brain from insults such as ischemic stroke; however, the effects of isoflurane on OGD-induced injury in microglia are as yet unknown.

Eighty burn patients were randomly and evenly divided into four groups according to target sufentanil effect-site concentration (0.2, 0.

Methods: Fifty patients scheduled for neurosurgery were randomly divided into TAES group (n = 25) and control group (n=25) with randomized block method. For patients of TAES group, TAES was applied to bilateral Hegu (LI 4) and Quchi (LI 11), Zusanli (ST 36) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) from 30 minutes on before anesthesia to the end of operation.
